Prior to the summer of 2014, it seemed hyperbolic to say that the events that soontranspired would forever alter the landscape of the NBA. Two months into free agency, it&#039;s safe to say that itwasn&#039;t hyperbole.

The NBA is an insane place. If you&#8217;re even just a casual fan, you should understand this.

There are surely a few dissenters who believe otherwise, but by and large the winners of the NBA offseason so far have been the Cavaliers, who vaulted to the top of the list the moment LeBron James chose to return to Cleveland.

After finishing the 2013-2014 season in disappointing fashion, the Indiana Pacers had several glaring needs to address going into the free agency period.

Money dries up quickly in NBA free agency. Teams come to dozens of agreements within in the first two weeks of July, leaving little remaining cash for stragglers. That&#8217;s often why top restricted free agents remain on the table until late in the process, as teams hesitate to tie up cap room on 2014-07-25 11:35:477/24: HoopsRumors- Teams With Hard Caps For 2014/15http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2014/07/teams-caps-201415.html
The NBA&#8217;s salary cap is really a misnomer of sorts, since it doesn&#8217;t truly cap salaries. Look no further than last year&#8217;s Nets for confirmation of that.
